Downside

In the late 1980s, Joint Productions published Downside, a seven-issue series from writer Dave McNamara and artist Pete Ketley. Set in a grim, rain-soaked city, it follows a down-at-heels private investigator navigating a world of corruption and supernatural menace. The series is a moody entry in the British independent comics scene, notable for its stark black-and-white art and hard-boiled atmosphere.
